Okay, so I woke up this morning a little late (I've been having sleeping problems), and I went downstairs to have to some cereal. As I was chewing, I noticed that every time I chewed (if that's grammatically correct) I felt this sharp-ish pulling pain in my left ear, that sometimes went all around the left side of the back of my head. I kept chewing, because I was somewhat hungry obviously, and eventually it suddenly stopped, but then I though I felt a weird warm liquid in my ear, so I got a q-tip, and there was a little of this yellow liquid (not wax) on the q-tip. It was very strange. Any ideas about what is going on? Or why for that matter? I don't notice any other symptoms, but I didn't know anything was going on with my ear until a few minutes ago. This hasn't ever happened to me before, and I don't think it's related to swimmer's ear or anything, since I haven't been in all summer. Please give your ideas, thanks!

It really does sound like some sort of ear infection. Have you been running a fever? The pain sounds like it's coming from the tube that lets your ear drain... like there may have been extra pressure from the fluid and the chewing action helped release the fluid. Just keep an eye on yourself... if the pain continues and/or you are running a fever, get to the doc for some antibiotics!
FYI - my 24 year old sister had an ear infection last year that she let go untreated and wound up bursting her eardrum!! i wouldn't wish that much pain on my worst enemy!!!

It sounds like you have an ear infection. Its not a big deal, just go to the doctor and they'll prescribe you some ear drops. I have a chronic ear condition, which causes me to get ear infections ALL the time... so I can relate.
